Ski info
Canada offers world-class skiing from November to April. Peak crowds hit during Christmas and February holidays. The best snow typically falls December to March. Popular resorts include Whistler Blackcomb and Banff’s Big 3. For quieter slopes, try Sun Peaks, Fernie, or Whitewater—hidden gems with fewer crowds and deep powder. Ideal for both families and powder hounds.
Travel info
Traveling to Canada? Most visitors need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a visa, depending on your nationality. UK and EU passport holders usually require an eTA.
Travel insurance isn’t mandatory but is highly recommended due to high medical costs. Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. Always check entry requirements before travelling.
Canada boasts world-class ski resorts like Whistler Blackcomb and Banff’s Lake Louise, offering epic terrain and stunning alpine views. But beyond the big names lie hidden gems such as Red Mountain in British Columbia, known for uncrowded slopes and deep powder, and Mont Sutton in Quebec, offering charming glade skiing. Revelstoke is a paradise for thrill-seekers with epic vertical drops, while Whitewater near Nelson serves up a true backcountry vibe. Canada’s resorts cater to every skier’s dream.
